Neverness to Everness (NTE) just dropped another massive gift in version 1.2: a free standard S-rank (5-star) selector available simply by logging in. This follows the standard banner selector from 50 pulls and shows how generous the game continues to be for all players, especially F2P.

The selector pool stays the same as the permanent standard banner. You can choose one of these six characters: Daffodill, Hathor, Baicang, Sakiri, Jiuyuan, or Fadia.

Here is a clear breakdown of every option plus exactly who you should pick depending on your account.

Character Breakdown

Daffodill (Chaos - Sub-DPS / Break Specialist)

Daffodill shines as a break damage specialist. She amplifies break effects against bosses, lowers enemy break thresholds by up to 30 percent, and delivers strong personal damage while opening better windows for the whole team. She fits into literally any team with zero requirements.

Best for: Almost everyone. She improves every roster right away.

Hathor (Lakshana - Main DPS)

Hathor delivers excellent single-target and AoE damage with simple, satisfying gameplay. Her kit generates team energy consistently and performs well as a second DPS or hypercarry. She feels smooth in combat and pairs nicely with most supports.

Best for: Players who want a strong, straightforward damage dealer.

Baicang (Incantation - Main DPS)

Baicang brings high damage ceiling with curse marks and an execution-style ultimate that deletes low-HP enemies. His kit rewards good positioning and timing, making him rewarding for players who enjoy technical gameplay.

Best for: Players who like high-skill DPS characters.

Sakiri (Incantation - Support / Buffer)

Sakiri provides strong crowd control by grouping enemies and delivers a powerful team-wide attack boost after her ultimate. She excels in mob-heavy content and adds great utility plus mobility.

Best for: Players who need better team buffs or enjoy crowd control playstyles.

Jiuyuan (Anima - Sub-DPS / Support)

Jiuyuan offers flexible ranged damage plus passive healing. She contributes off-field and becomes even stronger with her first duplicate, which boosts her healing enough to sometimes replace a dedicated healer.

Best for: Players who want a flexible all-rounder that covers damage and sustain.

Fadia (Psyche - Tank / Healer)

Fadia focuses on survival with damage sharing, self-healing, and strong mitigation. She shines in tough endgame content where staying alive matters more than raw damage.

Best for: Players who already have solid DPS but need better sustain.

Best Picks Ranked for NTE 1.2

Nte Daffodill

  1. Daffodill - Best Overall Pick
    She is the strongest and most flexible standard character available. Her break utility helps every team, including new limited characters like Shinku and Iroi coming in 1.2. If you do not already own her, pick Daffodill. She gives the biggest immediate power spike for most accounts.
  2. Hathor - Best Pure DPS Alternative
    Choose Hathor if you want raw damage and smooth gameplay. She is straightforward to build and performs excellently in both story and endgame content.
  3. Jiuyuan or Sakiri - Best Support / Utility Picks
    Pick Jiuyuan if you want a character who does damage plus healing. Go for Sakiri if you need strong team buffs and crowd control, especially for farming or mob stages.
  4. Baicang
    Solid choice if you enjoy technical DPS play and already have good supports.
  5. Fadia
    Only pick Fadia if your current roster already has strong damage dealers and you struggle with survivability in harder content.

F2P and New Player Advice

  • New accounts: Prioritize damage or break first (Daffodill or Hathor). Supports and tanks are easier to obtain through free pulls and A-rank characters.
  • Check your roster first: Look at what you already pulled from the starter banner (Mint or Sakiri) and free standard pulls. Avoid picking a duplicate unless you really want the constellation.
  • Wait if possible: The selector does not expire quickly. Do a few more standard pulls with free currency before deciding to reduce the chance of a duplicate.
  • Future-proofing: Daffodill stays relevant because break mechanics are core to the game. She pairs well with upcoming limited units in version 1.2 and beyond.

Final Recommendation

Most players should pick Daffodill.

She offers the highest value across all content types and works in almost every team composition.

If you already own Daffodill, go with Hathor for strong damage or Jiuyuan for flexible utility.

NTE continues to spoil players with these free selectors. Make your choice based on what your account actually needs right now, and enjoy the new content in version 1.2!
